So we've been hounded for more Eli pictures and updates. Honestly, I have been wanting to share these, and just received my first lesson on adding pictures to the blog. (Yes, I learn by being shown and am absolutely useless at teaching myself anything.)
Anyway, Eli is growing and changing, and oh so much fun! He will be 5 months old on May 21st, and we can't believe the time is going so fast. He has two teeth, the two bottom center ones and they are surprisingly sharp. He grabs your finger and has it in his mouth gnawing on it before you realize what's happening! He has been eating baby food for a couple of weeks, starting with carrots, butternut squash and sweet potatoes. I do believe we are starting peas tomorrow- a whole new experience with a different color. These pictures are actually him eating rice cereal which he started before the yellow veggies.
Eli started on the cereal, gained two teeth and rolled over all in the same week and my parents happened to be here visiting at the time. They were so glad to witness this fun stuff themselves. Justin was in Vegas for work and Mom and Dad came to visit and help me with Eli, while also giving Abbey a week off. The picture below is what happens when my dad has a little fun with Eli when undressing him for his bath. My bebe' looks French!
And finally, we drove to Lubbock this past weekend for my cousin's wedding and for Mother's Day and got to go to our nephew Jared's teeball game. It was so fun to watch the little guys play and they won 21-14! Go Mudcats! Eli sported his new shades, courtesy of Grandma Noble. He was a hit!
I hope to get back to blogging more regularly, but it seems each day passes so quickly, and another night of too little sleep is on us again!

What fun! It is so neat when you really start seeing them hit obvious milestones and yes, blogging gets to the bottom of the list as you get busier and need sleep over blogging! But isn't this SO GREAT??? Who would've ever thought we could love someone so little so much...
Cool dude with the glasses - thanks for posting!
"Mudcats" is a great name for a teeball (or any ball) team!
Thanks for the pictures. Just don't let him look French too often!
What a cutie! Thanks for the update. I know it is hard to choose between blogging and sleep---wait, it isn't hard! Choosing sleep is the obvious answer!
Holly - he is adorable and you are right, it goes way too fast! Connor is already 9m & crawling all over the house. Thanks for sharing the pictures!
